Renewal  Prayer for the Deaf Catholic Church

Father, we ask you to look with mercy at us,
Your Deaf Catholic Church.

We ask you to bless us, inspire us to always love you
above all things and to love our neighbors as ourselves.

We pray to you for our bishops, our spiritual leaders.
Please bless them and give them the strength
and wisdom to guide us, their people.  Help them to recognize,
understand, and respond to our unique needs.

Please bless the priests, deacons, religious, and lay people
​who serve our community.  Inspire them so that they may then
inspire all hearts of deaf people to know, love, and serve you
and your Catholic Church.

Father, we pray to you for our baptized Deaf Catholic brothers
and sisters.  Please send your Holy Spirit to enkindle
and renew their hearts so that they may continue to grow
​spiritually through making time for prayers, receiving
sacraments, and serving other people.

​Our young baptized Deaf Catholic are growing up in a
challenging and confused world.  Almighty God, please help
them understand that the way of the world does not give life;
​your way alone gives true life.  Please touch their hearts
and guide them to find your love.  Bring them back to the
Church.  Put in them the desire to pray, to receive the
sacraments and to serve other people.

​Holy Spirit, come and transform each of us through Jesus
Christ our Lord. Amen

​Holy Mary, our Mother, pray for us. Amen
